| Administrative History | During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the unity of the Church of Scotland was broken by internal unrest and the breakaway of several new Presbyterian churches, most notably the Secession Church in 1733, and the Free Church of Scotland and the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland at the Disruption of 1843. In 1900 the Free Church and the United Presbyterian Church united to form the United Free Church of Scotland; and in 1929 their re-union with the Church of Scotland was effected. Some congregations abstained from the unions of 1900 and 1929, and these remain as independent Presbyterian denominations (principally the Free Church of Scotland; United Free Church of Scotland; Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland; Associated Presbyterian Churches; and Reformed Presbyterians). In 1990, there were 12 Synods, 49 Presbyteries, and 1685 Kirk Sessions in the Church of Scotland. |
